PREMIERE> Black Casino and the Ghost NEW Video Age of Contagion, from upcoming album Until the Water Runs Clear

There's nothing usual about Black Casino and the Ghost everything they've done to this point in style, substance and musically is boundary pushing. Vocalist Elisa Zoot brings a seductive dark edginess, dangerous and menacing. The band pulsate's around these vocals like spectral shadows, casting gossamer melody's, haunting harmonies and resounding resonance. Beautifully crafted compositions and lavish instrumentation, BCATG create Alternative-rock for the disaffected.

Elisa Zoot (vocals, piano), Ariel Lerner (guitar), Gary Kilminster (bass) and Paul Winter-Hart (drums – also member of Kula Shaker)
After releasing their debut EP “Falling Into Pieces” in 2011 and their first album “Some Dogs Think Their Name is No” in 2013, the band are back with a new LP, “Until the Water Runs Clear”, to be published in late 2015

“Age of Contagion”, the first track from the new album, a montage of visuals taken from Bogdanovich’s 1968 sci fi movie “Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women” is an alternative-rock mix of different influences, ranging from David Axelrod to Broadcast to Nancy Sinatra and the Doors. It was entirely recorded, mixed and mastered by Ariel in the band’s studio. The lyrics explore the idea of change and evolution. A newly found awareness calls for the listener to take his/her steps across a menacing bridge towards mutation and discovery. “Just go, don’t look down. I’m going to give you one last taste of danger”.
The song will be available on Black Casino and the Ghost’s Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube pages before the full length album is released.

Black Casino will unveil tracks from the album at The Finsbury in London on July 10th.
